Nantucket Beach Plums

Freshly washed wild beach plums on their way to becoming a deep, dark, and richly flavored homemade jam. Photo by Nancy Wolff.

My friend, and fellow blogger, Nancy Wolff, posted one of her cool family recipes at her Prudent Living on the Homefront blogsite. It's for jam made from beach plums, (Prunus  maritima) a species of native fruit that grows along the shoreline in revered, and secretive(!), spots. I loved the colors in the photo above; it just said "artandcolour" to me.
